Rented cars on my trip.

We just got back from Rhodes. We were on a tour with a week of just staying at the beach hotel. So we rented a car for 3 days. BArgain rate, E25 per day with full insurance. The first was this little Suzuki, Had over 60K miles on it . 105 kilometers. It was fine if a bit buzzy.

At one of the scenic stops I noticed a screw in a front tire. Took it back to the rental co. I got upgraded to this little SEAT. Mii
This cutie pie got run all over the island with 3 people. Perfect car for the roads. And the 1 liter engine gets 50 mpg. Here it is parked at a beach after 2 miles of dirt road.

I saw this interesting car a few times Based on a YAris Toyota C-HR. The gas version starts at around 30K and more for hybrid or full electric. Seemed quite popular based on the numbers I saw.
